After some convincing, Stella managed to drag Marshall and Kayla out for food. She had messaged Keegan to come to the gathering, but he was busy with work.

Upon hearing that she would be out with Marshall, he could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. However, knowing that Kayla would be there, Keegan begrudgingly swallowed his anger. He advised Stella to leave promptly after the meal and return to the Royalpark Villa, saying he had something to discuss with her.

Stella could guess what Keegan had in mind. It was her birthday tomorrow. He probably wants to give me a birthday gift,’ she thought.

Wenham had initially planned an elaborate celebration, but Stella declined the effort. She was not close with many of the people in her social circle.

Considering the recent banquet thrown to announce Stella’s return to the Saun family, throwing such a huge event might not only be unfavorable but also be seen as excessive.

After much persuasion, Wenham settled for a smaller gathering with family and a few of Stella’s close friends.” This is the first time we’re celebrating your birthday,” he said.

Stella did not want to throw a party. However, she could not help but feel a bit sentimental hearing those words and eventually agreed to the plan.

‘Even with a reduced guest list, there would still be people to entertain. This means I wouldn’t spend much alone time with him on my birthday. There’s no doubt he wants to spend some extra time with me beforehand.’ With this in mind, Stella could not help but eat faster.

Kayla watched as she devoured her food and asked, “Are you trying to eat more to get your money’s worth?”
